In an effort to fight crime, we have equipped your TV with security protection. When
activated your TV is protected against unauthorised use. You cannot operate the unit if you
forget the PIN code. Please ensure that you keep a record of the PIN code in a safe place,
in case you forget it.
If the unit needs to be serviced, make sure that the security protect function is OFF, otherwise
you will be charged for resetting this feature.
If you enter the wrong PIN code more than 3 times, the unit will be locked and you will not
be able to operate your TV. To unlock the unit you must disconnect the mains supply and
wait for more than 30 minutes. Reconnecting the mains supply after this time will allow you
to enter the PIN code again.
In certain areas with poor reception, the Automatic Tuning System may not tune your
television to the strongest broadcast signal. If you are not satisfied with the automatic
tuning you may manually tune your television to obtain the best possible picture and
sound.
